Advent Evening Prayer Services

Join in mid-week fellowship, share prayer concerns, join in song.

This season Nassau will gather each Tuesday and Thursday at 8:00pm for a brief service of evening prayer hosted and led by members of our church staff.

These services will be held on Zoom. A link will be sent out to the “News from Nassau (All-Church News)” email list. This is the list that receives our mid-week Nassau Generations email newsletter. If you would like to be added to this list, please visit the Newsletter page of this website.

 

Service of Remembrance 

Advent and Christmas can be challenging for those who are grieving and for whom the season is tender.

Join us on Zoom for a Service of Remembrance including scripture, song, and prayer on Sunday, December 13 at 2:00 p.m. We will gather to acknowledge our sadness, to seek God’s healing, and to offer one another the gift of fellowship. The Zoom link will be available in your Sunday morning email that day.

Please bring a candle and matches to the service.

Contact Lauren McFeaters with any questions. (609-924-0103 x102)

Advent at Home – a Devotion for Families of all Ages!

Advent at Home

Lighting the Advent wreath candles, whether real flames or battery-operated votive lights, is a way to nurture the faith of each family member. How you use these worship moments during Advent will depend largely on your family’s make-up and schedule. Some things to consider:

  • If the children in your family are preschool age, simplify these Advent moments by lighting the candle, signing the theme word, reading the shorter version of the Bible text, and praying the prayer together.
  • Select a time each week when the whole family can be together. Just before or after a meal together works for many families, and it doesn’t have to be on Sunday.
  • Include some or all of the extra material if your children are older. Select the suggestions that you think will interest your family.
  • Schedules and circumstances may interfere with your plans. Be flexible. And if you miss a week, don’t worry. Combine two weeks to catch up.
  • Scripture text printed here is from the Common English Bible (CEB). This is the translation in use by Nassau’s church school teachers for elementary age students.
